OBVSHQR2 Recorder with Sony HQ Bullet Camera

720 x 576 Hq Digital Recorder

If you're looking for the highest quality video from your system then this is currently the recommended product of choice. The ultimate bullet camera system!

This unit will completely blow anything else in this price range right out of the water for both image quality and features. It's the only system available to achieve full DVD quality video and also has a built-in colour pre-view screen.

This kit records in progressive scan mode so the video looks great on any TV or computer screen without having to de-interlace the video.

The HQR-2 camera kit records in either mpeg2 or mpeg4 mode making it really flexible for all users. The built-in Li-Poly battery will power itself plus the Sony HQ2 bullet camera for around 5 hours. It can record at 8mb/s 720 x 576 which is something that only the Chasecam PDR100 can do in this price range. The HQR-2 has the added advantage of being much smaller and much easier to setup your camera with it's full colour screen.

The on-screen menu makes it easy to use and setup. It has a built-in microphone with variable gain control. This makes it a tidy solution with only one cable running from the recorder to the camera.

The bullet cameras supplied in this package are the Sony HQ1 or HQ2 models. The HQ2 camera not only gives exceptional colour reproduction and a quick response to changing light conditions but is comparable to CCTV cameras worth over £600.00 in low light performance.

The HQ2 camera is one of the smallest on the market making it comfortable to wear and easy to mount. It's waterproof down to 3m of water and extension cable runs up to 50m are available. The recorder part is not waterproof and should not be allowed to get wet.

Supplied with 1m of cable between camera and recorder. Cable runs of up to 50m are possible with this kit. The connection to this recorder from the camera is a high quality push fit "lemo" connector.

This system records on to a compact flash card. At full quality it needs 4.5gb per hour of video. A 32gb CF card is the largest available at this time holding around 8 hours at full quality.

It is important to note that this system supports recording only and not play back. Video playback needs to be done on a computer. You will be able to see what the camera is pointing at and what you are recording on the built-in screen.

We now have a Picture In Picture version of the HQR.

DV-500
The DV-500 is the smallest mp4 recorder available on the market. Small enough to fit inside a packet of cigarettes. This extra small device packs a punch when it comes to functions and usability. It has a small built-in screen to preview your videos and to position your helmet camera before recording begins. Takes standard SD memory cards. With no moving parts, you won't have any skipping or file corruption no matter how high an impact your sport can throw at it.
This solid state video recorder will work with all of our helmet cameras but for the best quality, we recommend the Super Hi-Res 550TVL helmet camera

Each DV-500 is now supplied with a wired remote control with LED indicator to start and stop recording without having to access the device.

We've done it again!  Here is the latest smallest lightest QUALITY mini recorder on the market today.

We see hundreds of this type of product all the time and most we wouldnt look at twice and even more we bin after testing.  Those that have bought from us before know that we are about quality and reliability and not focussed purely on profit which is why if you want cheap products that look good but are really rubbish, then go to some of our competitors or buy on ebay.

When we started the business 5 years ago we kept to top end products with high price tags.  However, we soon understood that not everyone wants video production equipment and therefore we have over the years tried to offer a full range of products to suit all budgets and requirements.

In the recorder market we have been supplying the obvsdv500 with excellent results, however, to find this product at £75 cheaper than the obvsdv500 is amazing.

The Mini DVR1 is the smallest digital recorder with a built-in screen on the market today, even smaller than the brilliant DV500. We weren't expecting much from the mini DVR1 because of it's price tag but after playing with it for a while and more importantly viewing it's video quality then we are more than happy to put our prestigious name to it

.

OK, you're not going to be making production quality video with this DVR but we challenge you to find better in this price range.

The Mini DVR 1 has a really high quality 1.5" TFT screen built-in for previewing the image from any camera or for videoplayback.  It uses Mini SD cards up to 4gb in size which will hold just under 4 hours of high quality digital video.

You can connect this recorder to your computer using the supplied USB cable and watch your videos on your PC or Mac, or use the supplied av cables for instant playback on your tv.

The menu system is a joy to use. So simple...it puts Archos recorders to shame. Recording is started by the touch of a button and you can choose to enable time/date stamping.

The changeable battery will power the recorder for over 2 hours and is as easy to change as most mobile phones.

The Mini DVR1 records in mpeg4 format at 640 x 480 resolution. This looks great on a PC screen but if you play back the video on a very large screen then you may notice the limitations of this device. We find that most customers are more than happy with this kind of video quality and it's perfect for things like video analysis of your track day or ride out.

Editing Mpeg4 video of any type very much depends on the software you are using and the video codecs installed on your computer. You can save yourself a whole lot of hassle by converting the mpeg4 files before you try to edit them.

We see this device as a great solution for in car or on bike recording.  Perfect for insurance purposes too! Never again take the blame for an accident when it wasnt your fault!

Beware of devices of a similar price which only support 320 x 240 resolution. These days, you should not settle for anything less than 640 x 480.

Don't get caught out, check the spec and buy from a reputable supplier!
